Washington Legislature average in college grads, low in lawyers
Washington's Legislature is Husky-dominated, mostly college-educated and very average compared to legislatures elsewhere in the country.
That's the conclusion of an analysis done by The Chronicle of Higher Education, a national newspaper that covers higher-education issues.
The Chronicle collected data on 7,000-plus state legislators across America, including whether they graduated from college — or if they went at all.
The Chronicle plans to publish a series of stories this week that raises the question: How important is it for state legislators to hold college degrees?
